For the first time, Ford Endeavour facelift has been spotted testing in India. It will receive some minor visual changes and some feature additions as well. The global facelift was launched in May 2018.
Earlier, we reported that 2018 Ford Everest was launched in Australia, which will make its way to the Indian markets in 2019 rebadged as the Ford Endeavour.
Now, we have the first set of spy pics of the full-grown SUV testing in India. It was spotted uncamouflaged and we can see subtle changes in the SUV.
The global-spec facelift gets new engines and some feature additions doubled up with minor visual upgrades. However, the engine changes would not be carried over to the Indian-spec.

As we see the photos of Ford Endeavour facelift (Ford Everest Facelift), the interiors are most likely to remain the same. It uses the dual-tone black and beige colour design with a clean instrument cluster.
Feature additions would include keyless entry, engine start-stop button and a foot-activated power tailgate. Endeavour already comes updated with the latest features.
